THE TYPEWRITERGIRLS POETRY CABARET BRINGS RHYME AND REASON TO THE
CAMPAIGN FOR THE
EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT
Arts Community Joins Small Business Effort in
Fight for Labor Law Reform
Pittsburgh – The TypewriterGirls Poetry Cabaret will host an event
Sunday, July 7 at Your Inner Vagabond Coffeehouse & World Lounge
supporting efforts to pass the Employee Free Choice Act and level the
playing field for workers seeking to organize unions in a system stacked
against them. The Employee Free Choice Act is a pending piece of
legislation that would put the choice to form a union in the hands of
workers, not corporations. In addition, the Employee Free Choice Act
would impose stricter penalties on corporations that violate the law by
harassing and intimidating workers who try to form a union.
This event will feature poetry by Renee Alberts, author of No Water
(Speed and Briscoe, 2009), Adam Atkinson, Co-Director of Open Thread,
Mary Biddinger, author of Prairie Fever (Steel Toe Books, 2007) and
Editor of the Akron Series in Poetry, and Jay Robinson, Co-editor of
Barn Owl Review. Punk Rock Burlesque to be performed by Shrimp Scanty of
the Bridge City Bombshells, and escape artistry by Dave Doyle, aka
Pester the Jester. There will also be music by Between Liberties, a
progressive acoustic musical experiment out of Pittsburgh, and a dance
party courtesy of DJ Randy Spinster.
“We thought it was high time for those of us active in the arts
community to weigh in on this issue”, said Crystal Hoffman, spokesperson
for the TypeWriterGirls. “Thousands of artists are self-employed, small
business people and we want to let the corporate world know they don’t
speak for us when they oppose the Employee Free Choice Act and labor law
reform. Workers with good-paying union jobs make good customers and a
healthier economy for everyone”, according to Hoffman.
What: A poetry reading and performance by the Avant-Garde cabaret troupe
The TypewriterGirls to raise awareness for the Employee Free Choice Act
Who: The TypewriterGirls Poetry Cabaret w/ Poets: Renee Alberts, Adam
Atkinson, Mary Biddinger, and Jay Robinson; Music by Between Liberties;

Rambling schizophrenic trash from Bobby Meade and Bob Ness copycats, which is the norm on the indymedia, is what sucks.

"Nothing in the world is proof; there is only perceptive viewpoints of the physical world. You will need an interpreture to understand this as it requires introspection best available, for yourself, through intensive psychiatric care.
I offer something beside the awful sea of propaganda that *you* percieve [ if you even fall for it, yourself and are *not* fully aware of the tender pustules of zionist history ] through a blood soaked pro-israeli/zionist lens of victimhood and paranoia.
The deliberate agenda of deceit and beligerence [ to put it very mildly ] is all yours.
I just use it and you to make it obvious even to the sleeping American public. I'm using you to piss them off.
That's My agenda.
Thank you for your assistance."

"Did nessie post these words? YES or NO: "
by one more time Monday June 12, 2006 at 10:20 AM
No, nessie did not post that. It was probably Smashy, setting up fraudulent "evidence" for his spurious claim that "Die Like a Dog" was edited. virtually every day for years he and his crew have posted stuff that nessie didn't write, and signed his name to it. Sometimes it is anti-Semitic propaganda. Sometimes it is gibberish. Sometimes it is a near quote, that has had a few words changed to alter the meaning. On rare occassions, they post something nessie actually did write, but out f context. This is not such a case. This is yet another fabrication, one of countless such fabrications.
We can only wonder why anyone would go to such lengths to smear an IMCista. Three possibilities come to mind:
(1.) Perhaps this is one guy, SmashTheLeft, who has severe mental problems, not much of a life and access to a computer at work, or more likely, at his parents house.
(2.) Smearing any IMCista smears the whole network. There is a group of right wingers, "connected via email and personal web sites,: who are using every trick in their book, dirty and otherwise, to take over Indymedia, and when that failed, to discredit it.
They even confessed, or bragged, depending how you look at it:
http://vancouver.indymedia.org/news/2004/04/123358_comment.php
(3.) Perhaps it not the work of one mental defective with a compulsion to act out in public, but cold, calculating psy-war. The Zionist propaganda mill knows full well that their grip on the progressive left is slipping fast. They are scrambling desparately to control Indymedia because they realize that it is one of the few places where they can still talk to progressive leftists. Nessie is an outspoken anti-racist who has relentlessly campaigned for their compete and total ban an all racist propaganda on Indymedia, not just Zionist, but Nazi, Klan or whatever. This is a direct threat to the Zionist propaganda mill's ability to spew their racist filth in front of a progressive left audience. So they have taken it upon themselves to attack nessie everywhere, and in any way, that they can. They publish anti-Semitic propaganda cut and pasted from Nazi sites, and sign the name "nessie" to it. The repost stuff nessie actually wrote, but with a few words changed to alter it's meaning. They attempt to portray nessie as a racist, a snitch, a child molester, a drunk, a felon, etc., in transparent, and thus vain, attempt to discredit him, and with him, anti-Zionism.
For details, see:
http://www.sfimc.net/news/2002/12/1555696_comment.php#1692248
So maybe it not Smashy, or the FR/PW/KOBE cabal who is responsible for this, but the Zionist propaganda mill. That it is the work of the Zionist propaganda mill is the most likely explanation, because it is a fairly sophisticated maneuver. On the other hand, it is Smashy who obsesses on this alleged typo. To have planted bogus evidence this far in advance does appear to be a lot more sophisticated than Smashy usually appears capable, On the surface, Smashy appears to be fairly simple minded. But he may not be simple minded at all. It may be a ruse. Or, he may not even exist. He may be a sock puppet, a literary character created by a sophisticated psy-warrior.
Perhaps, we shouldn't worry too much about which of IMC's many enemies posted this disinformation and forged nessie's name to it. Whoever it was, (s)he was lying. Until there is a network wide, rigorously enforced, zero tolerance policy for disinformation and forgery, Indymedia can *never* be taken seriously as a source of news nd no IMCista can be taken seriously as an activist. Indymedia's enemies know this, They also know that nessie is a tireless campaigner for such a policy. That alone is enough to make him target for an attack. When a message is too true to attack, often it is the messenger who is attacked instead. That is what we are seeing here. It's an ad hominem, i.e., bunk logic. It's a trick. Don't fall for it."
leave nessie alone!
